Website Spotlight: Players Choice Student Athlete Digital Network

The Major League Baseball Players Association
and STACK, the nation's leading multi-platform sports
performance content and media company for student athletes, announced
the launch of the
Players Choice Student Athlete Digital Network. This
digital network will empower student athletes from junior high through
college, as well as their parents and coaches, through channels
individually hosted by active Major Leaguers, beginning
with All-Stars, Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chris
Archer of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Each
individual player channel also will be committed to supporting and
assisting parents as
they navigate the student-athlete journey. While their children are
motivated with examples of how some of today’s top major leaguers
overcame adversity and fine-tuned their skills, parents will learn
invaluable lessons from the personal experiences of the
participating players.

The
STACK partnership with the MLBPA plans to expand by adding additional
channels, including Spanish and Asian
language player specific channels. This will provide aspiring athletes
from an array of cultural backgrounds with opportunities to learn from
some of their favorite major leaguers.
